Abstract

U Hrvatskoj tek u rijetkim srednjim školama postoji izborna nastava astronomije. Učenici o svemiru, Sunčevom sustavu i astronomskim pojavama koje su vezane i utječu na život na Zemlji, mogu naučiti iz drugih predmeta s kojima je astronomija povezana. Najviše takvih sadržaja ima u fizici. Na osnovi miskoncepcija koje su ustanovljene prijašnjim istraživanjima i astronomskim sadržajem koji se po programu obrađuje kroz nastavu fizike, osmislila sam test od 30 pitanja. Test sam provela na 135... More učenika prvih i četvrtih razreda, iz tri različite srednje škole, kako bih ispitala kakvo je njihovo poznavanje osnovnih ideja iz astronomije te koje miskoncepcije imaju i koliko im nastava fizike pomaže da ih napuste. Pokazalo se da zapravo ne postoji razlika između prvog i četvrtog razreda. Neke miskoncepcije pokazale su se vrlo čvrste te su se pojavile i u prvom i u četvrtom razredu. Dani su primjeri kako bi se kroz nastavu fizike te pogrešne ideje mogle promijeniti. Less

Abstract (english)

In Croatia only few high schools have elective astronomy courses. Students can learn about universe, Solar system and astronomical phenomena that affect life on Earth only through courses whose content relates to astronomy, but mostly through Physics. Utilizing misconceptions listed in previous research and national standard, which includes a body of astronomical concepts foreseen for high school physics course, I developed a 30 item test. The test was administered to a sample of 135... More students, of which 65 were in the first year of high school and 70 were in the last year of high school. I wanted to investigate their understanding of basic astronomical concepts, the misconceptions they have and if physics teaching helps students to overcome them. Results show that there is no difference between first year and fourth year students. Some misconceptions that are shown can be classified as very strong because they are present in both student groups. Examples and ideas are given for how those misconceptions could be overcome through high school physics course. Less
